This new Johnson ultimate will open up insane combos in MLBB
Johnson‘s ultimate, Rapid Touchdown, is one of the abilities that is completely unique to Mobile Legends, enabling him to transform into a car and bring along an ally with him during the ride.
In the upcoming update, the new Johnson ultimate continues to make space for one teammate to enter the car, but here’s the catch — they can jump in anytime, even while he is moving across the map.
Here’s the new skill description for Rapid Touchdown:
| BEFORE | AFTER |
| Johnson transforms into a car, accelerating over time. An allied hero can board the car during the acceleration phase, however there is a waiting state upon activation of the Ultimate (prior to accelerating). | Johnson immediately gains acceleration upon activation of his Ultimate Once Johnson starts driving and gets within 20 yards of his team mates, team mates will receive notification such as, “Johnson is [x] m away from you.” When Johnson is within 6 yards from his team mates, the notification will turn into a button, and party members are required to tap the button to get into the car. Tips: If Johnson is your party member, there will be an option for you to notify the player, including the message: “Calling Johnson for a ride.” If the enemy team is using Johnson, there will be a message to notify you that: “Johnson is approaching, watch out.” |
The anticipated skill rework is expected to open up numerous skill combinations with different heroes that will elevate the Mustang’s gameplay in the Land of Dawn.
Players can look forward to the new Johnson ultimate along with animation improvements to his other skills in future patches as part of the Project NEXT update.
